CAR NAME–YEAR & MODEL INFO
1HRSPWR - 2019 MUSTANG CALIFORNIA SPECIAL
MEMBERS OF THE STANG MAG FAMILY ARE MORE PASSIONATE ABOUT FUN AND INCLUSION THAN THEY ARE THEIR CARS AND THAT SAYS A LOT!
If you asked me if I thought I’d be writing an article for STANG Magazine for my car this time last year I would’ve said no. If you asked me if I would be writing it about a different car than the 2005 Roush Mustang I had I would’ve said hell no. I loved that car but acquiring this one reinvigorated my passion for car shows and events!
Hi, My name is Stephen Martin. I have always been interested in cars, started early with my dad and brother. Fun fact: my brother Mark Martin was featured in STANG Magazine back in December 2020. He has a 2011 GT500 named Venom. My brother and I are both able to share the same passion for our cars, so it makes it that much better. We love the adventures our Mustangs take us on and the people we meet along the way. Sometimes it might be a car show, drag racing, or might just be cruising. I have always loved Mustangs. They bring a smile to my face when seeing them or hearing them. Not to mention always seeing them in iconic movies.
I chose the 2019 GT/CS because you don’t see a lot of them around and they are a little different from the standard Mustang. I like to be different and this is why I went old school with chrome wheels and the original 1968 California stripes.
Mods include a K&N drop-in filter, MBRP axle back ex- haust, BMR lowering springs, 20” SVE Series 2 wheels, Euro Style tail lights, CDC styling bar, wind deflector, true Ford licensed 1968 California Special side stripes, and racing stripes.
I met Daniel Ramey at a Beltway Mustang show and won my spot with STANG Magazine in their Carlisle Ford Nationals display. Needless to say I wasn’t sure what to expect being that I didn’t know the people attending and was going by myself.
The STANG Mag family welcomed me in from the very start and made me feel like one of their own!
Members of the STANG Mag family are more passionate about fun and inclusion than they are their cars and that says a lot! I can’t wait to see what’s to come in 2022!
STEPHEN MARTIN
